Layers are crucial to creating an eye-catching yet low-maintenance shoulder-length haircut. Not only can they add dimension and body to thin locks, but they can also help frame the face or tame curly textures.

Choppy layers
Layers can add texture, volume, and movement to your hair, and frame your face beautifully. They work for all types of hair, fragile and delicate locks. Thick locks may find these layers helpful for decreasing bulk and adding definition.
Feathered layers
Try getting layers with feathered ends to add volume and length to your hair. This cut makes for one of the best shoulder-length haircuts available and looks beautiful regardless of its hue.

Middle part
A middle part is ideal for medium-short hair, wildly when styled with layers. It helps elongate the face and works on all textures, including curly and wavy locks.
Curly or textured hair types

Layered medium-length hair
Layered medium-length hair looks gorgeous in any shade and is stunning when highlighted. It easily transitions from long to short hair and helps thin or delicate tresses appear fuller and thicker.
Rounded layers
Round layers create volume and give a softer finish to your locks, making the appearance of thicker locks. They are ideal for thin or delicate hair types and can help distribute bulk in thick wavy locks.
An ideal choice for many face shapes
Layers are ideal for many face shapes and can help frame the face softly or sharply. They add femininity and are especially recommended for round faces.
Shoulder-length layered bob
A shoulder-length layered bob is a low-maintenance style with long layers and blonde highlights. It creates dimension with little time to manage and style.
Volume
Layers are an excellent hair-cutting technique, offering fullness to thin strands and increasing volume in thick braids. They give texture to flat or undefined locks.
Effortless casual style
Ask your stylist to add long layers that reach a couple of inches past your shoulders for an effortless casual style. This length creates an ideal shaggy, messy look while complementing your face shape.
Keeping coarse or curly hair neat
hair that is coarse or curly can be challenging to keep neat. Comb and braid your locks before going to sleep, and keep a spray bottle of water handy to hydrate your strands and maintain their voluminous look throughout the day.
